Who benefits

Brideface is LGBTQ+-owned. A beauty team spends hours with you on a high-pressure morning, so comfort matters. Many couples want a look that is polished but still reads as themselves, and the company says it tailors timeless looks to your style. Be clear about your preferences from the first conversation.

What the team provides

• Previews, so you can test your look
• Wedding day hair and makeup
• Services designed to last from the first photos to the final dance
• Coordination that fits your wedding timeline

Why team size helps

A team of 28 can cover large bridal parties and several weddings on one weekend. The company describes calm energy and precise coordination, which suits a morning where hair, makeup and photographers share one room. Ask how many artists will arrive for your group and how they will schedule appointments.

Planning your preview

Bring your outfit, a veil or hairpiece, and photos of looks you like. Plan the preview a few weeks before the wedding so you have time to change your mind. Take photographs in natural light to see how the makeup looks outside.

Questions to ask

• How far ahead to reserve your date
• Whether previews are included or charged separately
• How the team handles touch-ups
• What the schedule looks like for a party of your size

Cincinnati context

Weddings in the city often take place in historic halls, riverfront venues and hotels. Confirm that your getting-ready space has good light and outlets, and share the address with your artist well ahead of time.
